SAILS
For 2018 we are pleased to introduce the brand new Lift sail, made specifically for light wind foiling. Utilizing ultra-lighweight materials, the Lift delivers the low-end power to get sailors up and foiling yet still luffable to dump power when it isn't needed. For years the Force has set the performance standard for wave sails and with both four and five batten models it continues to prove itself globally. With technologies like our exclusive CARBONTECH construction, we’re constantly refining our sails not only to make them as light as possible, but to make them tougher and more responsive to give sailors like you the ultimate advantage in those critical moments. High-end features such as titanium clew rings and our Equilibrium Batten System—which perfectly balances loads from front to back for smoother rotation and increased durability—all work together to maximize your sailing experience, year after year.
